critics have raised concerns about how such forms of drilling will impact human health on the environment. president obama renewed his commitment to "freeing ourselves from foreign oil" in his reelection victory speech last week. energy department data shows u.s. imports of crude had fallen 11% this year and the country is on track to produce the most oil since 1991. the syrian military continues to launch attacks on the border town, sending hundreds of civilians fleeing to neighboring turkey. the new bombings come days after more than 11,000 syrian civilians were forced out during strikes last week, one of the largest refugee flights of this year in conflict to date. speaking in geneva, the head of disaster in crisis management at the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies warned turkey needs major aid to handle the growing number of syrian refugees. >> we have seen a doubling of the camp population since july 2012, and i think as you have seen over the last few days, there has been an increase in the number of syrians moving into turkey. they now recognize the

why would a piece of uranium be hotter than a piece of rock in the same environment? rock, meaning a rock with no uranium or radioactive minerals. why do you suppose? - releasing energy. - more unstable. because... check your neighbor in this one. this is something--you guys know enough physics to do this. what does it mean to say something's hot? hot, temperature-wise. well, they're emitting alpha and beta particles and those are going at high speed and hitting the other atoms-- yeah. --and it's making it move faster. yeah. just to say something's hot, you're gonna think it's moving faster, eh? little particles moving-- but guess what? they're moving faster when they're kicked around. what's kicking them around? how about some alpha particles there in you, honey, you'll be hot, too. they're gonna just kick around a little bit. that's all, it's that simple. so it turns out things would be-- why do you suppose we're getting all these volcanoes over there in the big island? where's that heat coming from? you know, that's the earth, honey, the earth's natural heat. where

all this stuff will spew out and it gets into the environment. is that good or bad? beginning with a b. yeah. but it's not an explosion. yeah. now, this thing over here, this is not even-- you can't-- this is at low temperature, and it's sort of self-sustaining. this has no chance at all of being used as a weapon, which is kinda-- this is all in the textbook. the neat thing is if we get to the point, we have like a fusion age. and all this idea of getting oil and things like that for fuel, we have no more problem with energy. and how do we make matter? matter is made by what? fusing things together. and i think the day will come when human begins will do that. what's the world gonna be like when there's abundant energy and abundant materials? no more scarcities? it's gonna be different. now is that gonna be good or it will be bad? it's hard to say. but i think of one thing, i think of my own story when i was a kid. i remember i used to-- i knew what i wanted to do. a lot of kids don't know what they wanna do when they grew up. i knew what i wanted to do. i had it all

one could liken glaciers as a depositional environment, a glacial environment. in the deposits are contained events of earth history that occur simultaneously during the depositional process. you see, ice sheets are essentially atmospheric processes. practically any material passing through the atmosphere may be trapped in glaciers as they form. pollen, volcanic ash, and meteorites have been discovered in the ice. even bubbles of ancient air have been found, representing a valuable record of earth's past atmosphere and climate. since the early 1970s, an international project has been underway to drill into greenland's vast continental glacier and obtain ice core samples. called the greenland ice core program, this effort involves scientists from countries around the world. the prime difficulties in a field operation such as drilling in ice relate primarily to the climate, the weather. it's not the best place to work, but it's overcome somewhat by the technique used today to excavate trenches and cover the tops of the trenches over with some form of a material an

did you notice our teacher's control or lack of control over her environment? reducing or eliminating classroom distractions is so important when we're trying to talk with someone. nonverbal communication is only part of the process. the family member needs to know that you understand what they're saying. that's where paraphrasing, or the act of listening and rephrasing what people say to you, comes in. first, paraphrasing for facts. let's see what can happen when we don't paraphrase accurately. thank you for taking the time to see us today. rose is having a problem. it's kind of sensitive. she's bedwetting. teacher: oh, i love bedwetting! it's my favorite topic to deal with with parents because i was a chronic bedwetter. i had the funniest experience when i was a child, and i had a bedwetting problem until i was, like, 8 years old, and i'll never.. not a pretty picture, is it? how did our teacher fail in her effort to paraphrase for facts? how do you think you would respond to this family member if you were the teacher? we can start by looking at the situation
